Introducing the London Sofa Bed

Introducing the London Sofa Bed

Finding a decent sofabed isn’t easy. Especially if you want it to be comfortable too. Even a trip to London and trawling around some of the most famous furniture shops won’t necessarily be enough. Well, the Furl has always specialised in making beautiful, comfortable sofa beds and now we’re bringing London to you. The London sofa bed that is.

The London is the latest addition to our range of great sofabeds. It been a whole year in development (we like our sofabeds to be perfect so will take as long as we need to get everything just so) but has finally taken its place alongside the Cambio and Metro. Have a look at the London page of our website – or the whole sofabed range is on the Sofa Beds page.

The London has an air of quality from the moment you see it. Its modern styling and lovely proportions make it ideal for an apartment in the city or the sitting room of a country cottage. In fact one thing about the London is that it looks bigger than it is, so giving an impression of space. But it’s not only about the impression of space, the sofabed has to be right for the space, which is why we make the London in 5 sizes.

The London is a fabulous and comfortable sofa, with a lovely seat depth and supportive back. In fact sitting on it and looking at it would be easy to forget that it’s a sofabed too. But it is of course and the strong mechanism simply opens out to reveal a fantastically comfortable bed. Because we’ve designed our sofabeds for everyday use we also give you a choice of three mattresses; Coil Sprung, Pocket Sprung and Memory Foam. Each one is a proper, thick mattresses just the same as you would find on a bed.

Our Cambio sofa bed has shown us that there’s a need for sofabeds with storage. Not to be left out in the storage stakes the London has storage arms. Each one lifts up to reveal enough space to store your pillows and perhaps a light duvet when your sofa’s a bed and possibly even your clothes when your bed’s a sofa.

Like many in London itself this is a sofabed that likes to dress to impress. It’s available in beautiful leathers and fabrics. The full range can be seen on the Fabric page, which is also the place to order your free sample swatches.

As always though there’s only one way to really get to know the London, and that’s to see and feel it for yourself. Furl is based just outside Nottingham – 15 minutes from the M1 – and we welcome visitors to the workshop. All you have to do is Contact Us to make an appointment. When else would you be able to say that London awaits?

I went to the showroom to check on the quality of the sofa beds as they are not cheap, but I was impressed when I saw the sofa beds and by David's explanation of the workings and his complete confidence in his product. They looked strong and long lasting and would fit my need of having a sofa bed that would be used every day and after deciding on the colour of the leather I wanted, I ordered my sofa bed. I also had the parts added to make it easier to move about as it's a very solid heavy bed settee.
It was delivered around the time David said it would and Paul and his assistant who delivered the sofa bed were incredibly professional and very friendly and were careful when they were working and they even wore shoe protectors while in my house. Paul even offered to take my old settee downstairs for me which I had to decline - but how nice was that?
It's obviously still early days but so far the bed is surprisingly comfortable and as a settee it looks brilliant and is comfortable too.
There is only one suggestion I would make and that is that the metal sides when being used as a bed need some kind of padding on so they're comfortable to sit on.

I'm so impressed and happy with my recent purchase.
I went with the Air bed in a silver-grey velvet, and it looks amazing - especially with the Mondrian headboard. The storage space is far more than you would expect, and the mechanism is very secure and easy to operate.
David was very helpful when I visited the showroom. He had so many material samples to choose from - more than the ones listed on the website.
And as a real bonus nowadays, the gentlemen who delivered it and put it together were lovely and respectful.

Can not praise this company enough! Approximately 9 years ago (I think they were probably just starting out) I went to their workshop near Nottingham. I was shown how the beds were made, all of the options a available and given fabric samples to take home. We ordered a king size Ottoman bed. At the time I was impressed with the service from ordering to delivery. Fast forward 9 years, we still have the bed, it’s still amazing but we do have one broken bed slat. Today I contacted them and they are popping one in the post for me. Outstanding customer service! Thank you 😊

The sofa is great, I am in love! Both the sofa and the bed are really comfortable.
The delivery team were great – very professional and friendly and got the bed put together really efficiently. They were very respectful of my home too.

I am hugely impressed by the bed. Whilst expensive, it is superbly made, looks good, is a joy to ‘manage’ and my guests say they have slept extremely well and would never believe that they were sleeping in a sofa bed.
I have only docked the star because they were not as communicative as they might have been in the early stages, knowing I had a deadline. David, who had been most helpful in the shop, emailed his apology for any delay saying he was 'never in the shop'. Perhaps he should spend more time there. Anyway a great product.

I bought a king size bed from Furl because I was looking for a company here in the UK that could made those kind of storage beds for quite a time, and I was glad to found this company. The bed was made according my specs and the quality of the materials and service are outstanding. Very happy with my purchase!!

I wanted a normal height bed with storage. I looked around in the shops but none had the amount of storage space that furl beds do and also the sides were very chunky. Mattresses these days are very thick and I didn't want a bed that was high as it dominates a smaller room.I found the perfect bed at Furl. I went along to the showroom and they were very helpful. I also wanted a custom size and they were able to do it no problem. They fitted it promptly on time and it's looks great. Very happy with. it. The amount of storage is amazing for a bed that isn't that high and the quality is excellent..

Our sofa bed is incredibly comfortable and is being used as an 'everyday' bed with no complaints. The service itself was quick, reliable and easy. The payment options also made an expensive quality purchase much more manageable for us.

I bought my sofabed (Medium 3 Seater Duette) a year ago and have slept on it almost every night since. The bed is extremely comfortable and the sofa still looks new. I opted for additional fabric protection on the Lana fabric I choose and this seems to have helped reduce the number of spill marks. I have children who sit eating on the sofa so there have been lots of marks but a quick sponge seems to have removed most of them.
One thing is tricky and that’s moving it to hoover underneath or retrieve things if they fall under the bed. It weighs an absolute tonne. The moving system (an extra 100 quid) now seems like it would have been worth investing in. But it was such an expensive purchase in total I was trying to scale back on the cost.
The sofa is very comfy when sitting on it alone but I would love the seat cushions to be slightly deeper as it’s not that easy to cuddle up next to someone, it’s just too shallow.
Maybe the next model designed can have a more generous seat depth...
But given that this sofa functions very highly as both something to sit AND sleep on overall I’m very happy with my purchase and the excellent customer service I had from David and his team.

The quality of the bed, super amazing space inside, easy of opening, way it looks and how delivery guys put it up in our home. All go toward the reason why we bought. Wish it could have got here quicker, but we understand quality takes time. Thanks to all the team.

We were very pleased with every aspect of our purchase. We knew we wanted storage beds in our new Barbican flat, and were delighted to discover Furl through a google search. The website gave us lots of good detailed information, but it was an appointment with David at the London showroom, which convinced us that Furl was right for us. Terrific selection of beds, many mattresses and endless numbers of possible fabrics. The fitters coped well with our quite small lifts, and our beds are beautiful and very comfortable. We thoroughly recommend!

I was very impressed with the service we received from Furl. Our sofa bed is beautiful. I love the colour (lagoon). We bought it for guests to sleep on but our boys take turns to sleep on it from time to time as it's so comfortable and
a spacious double bed which they love because they can spread out. We use it as a sofa daily in our conservatory. It's quite firm to sit on but very comfortable and everyone has commented on how comfortable it is. It was expensive but I think it is well worth the money as the quality is outstanding. Delivery was great too and it was set up in just a few minutes. Well done Furl.

We found Furl after two unsuccessful attempts by John Lewis to get a sofabed into our small flat.
Our Furl came in pieces and was delivered with no difficulty, and re-assembled very quickly by two experienced and friendly "experts".
The sofabed is strongly built, attractive and comfortable for everyday both sofa by day and as a bed at night, which converts very easily and quickly. It was a good choice.

The sofa-bed we purchased is just amazing! We have had various people sleeping on it over the past few weeks, and everyone has consistently said that they have had a good night's sleep. We are very pleased with it and consider it money well spent. My only constructive feedback is that the delivery process could have been smoother. We had paid extra for the expedited delivery, but we had to contact FURL rather than them contact us to chase up on delivery although the 4 week timescale had passed. Also, the FURL salesperson had been extremely confident the sofa would fit in our home ("if you can fit through the doorway, so can the sofa" she said), but the delivery men were less sure! Thankfully we did not have any problems fitting the sofa in (though it was tight!).

We love our Furl Bed. David was very helpful when we were buying the bed, sending a couple of swatches and then when we visited the showroom in London.
I did have to give them a nudge to confirm delivery date, but that wasn’t a major issue.
The team were helpful in organising for me to be the second delivery, so I didn’t have to take the whole morning off work.
The guys that put the bed together were very friendly and helpful and did a great job.
The bed is fantastic. Yes, it was expensive, but for me well worth the money. It’s solid, well made and looks great in our room.

this is our second bed and the product quality is still as good as it was with the first one. these are great beds, they are not cheap but it's very good quality for money. when i compare the price of FURL beds to the beds available in shops or online in Luxembourg, the FURL beds remain still reasonably priced for the quality, comfort and convenience that they provide.
unfortunately delivery abroad is not a pleasant and professional experience as within the UK where the team of installers add to the positive experience with their incredible service.
the disservice we suffered was not FURL fault and it was out of their control and they did a lot to make up for it regardless (discount + replacement of damaged parts).
Buying one of this bed from outside the UK is more of a challenge but I would do it again without even thinking about it. These are the best beds of my entire life.
Thank you FURL and team.

The storage bed bases are amazing and beautiful! We bought two, one double and one king and we are very happy with them.
